Culture Notes
The long bottlebrush flower spikes of this plant give it its height and erect form. C. ramosa is a later flowering species. It performs wonderfully when planted as a woodland border as it is very shade tolerant. Divisions can be made in early spring, and seeds can be gathered in late fall. Plant goes well with: Rodgersia, Ligularia, Astilbe, gold-leafed hostas and ferns. 'Hillside Black Beauty' (Patent # 9,988) has very dark, purplish-black leaves and pinkish-white blossoms. Asexual propagation of this plant is prohibited.
